does anybody still make .30 class helis?
I've been out of the hobby for a few years. I used to have a shuttle zx and then a jr venture 30. Ive been looking for a new .30 size nitro but I cant find any. Are there any out there that still have parts support? Is Kyosho done, what happened to hirobo?

They also offer a number of very nice scale fuselages for them.

Thunder Tiger Raptor 30 is still available. Now, I have a question for you: after 2 - 30 size nitros, why are you looking for a 3rd one? For a few more dollars you can get a 50 size that is just a little larger (uses the same 30 size frames) and will have almost unlimited power. I rarely suggest 30s anymore.

What kind of flying are you interested in?
Here is one flying 3D...you will note that it as a similar (but improved) control system to your previous Shuttle ZX:

or if you prefer scale:

I also feel you should leave the 30 alone and go to the 50 size. They use the same body with a longer tail boom. There is also a lot more 50 size to choose from.
Hirobo is still out there and they make a very nice helicopter, I have two and I like them both.
